The areas of the effort and load pistons of a hydraulic press are 0.5m2 and 5m2 respectively. If a force F1 of 100N is applied on the effort piston, the force F2 on the load is
  • A.
    10N
  • B.
    100N
  • C.
    500N
  • D.
    1000N
  • E.
    5000N
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

(frac{load}{area}) = (frac{effort}{area})
(frac{load}{5}) = (frac{100}{0.5})
load = 1000N
